Don't mind them o, them be 419 people. U can play along with them u'll see that they will ask you for one thing or another (money, credit card information etc.)

All da best

ARE YOU NEW IN NIGERIA? ALMOST I BILLION PEOPLE WORLD OVER HAS RECIEVED SUCH KINDOF FORMAT. SO PLAY ALONG MAYBE YOU FIT LINK EFCC PUT IN FOR THEM.

My friend, don't waste your precious time in repling them, they are 419ners just has someone rightly put it earlier in this thread.

Beware of anything free, ask yourself why will someone in England gives you free money? They will rather collects than gives "manna only falls once from heaven"

I do receive those rubbish virtually everyday. Don't waste ur precious time on them, they don't deserve it.

The only good u can do them is DELETE/SPAM their mail(s)

Its completely bogus. You can only win in a game that you have participated in. Sooner or later they will ask you to pay for a processing fee etc and that's how you get scammed.

If you want to play along, simply ask them to deduct the processing fee from your winnings and see how quickly they will vamoose!

Whatever you do, dont send your bank details, money or personal details.
